Big Brother 27 just got a whole lot messier after Vince Panaro shocked everyone by winning the endurance HOH competition. Now he’s living in luxury with Morgan Pope practically glued to his side. And their late-night conversations are getting fans wondering if these two are planning a real-life future together.
The season has gone from strategic gameplay to full-blown showmance drama. And it’s about to cost some major players their shot at the finale.
Big Brother Spoilers: Vince’s Surprising HOH Victory
Nobody expected Vince to win an endurance competition, especially after watching him complain about cramps and pains like he was dealing with the worst case of PMS imaginable. But somehow, this guy who comes across as weak as a “consumptive Victorian chick wheezing from a corset” managed to outlast everyone in the medieval-themed sword and shield challenge.
The competition took place in the Have Not room, which was transformed into a candlelit medieval setting. Players had to hold a sword against a shield on a contraption in the middle of the room. Ava Pearl dropped out after just a couple of minutes, followed by Ashley Hollis.
When the feeds came back up, Vince was the new HOH with Keanu Soto finishing in second place. This means Vince basically gets two weeks living in the best room in the house, since Morgan’s double eviction HOH didn’t come with room privileges.
The Showmance Gets More Intense on Big Brother
Morgan was back in Vince’s HOH bed the very first night, and the pillow wall that used to separate them seems to have disappeared. They’re sleeping head to foot, but their late-night conversations are getting increasingly intimate and cryptic.
The most shocking revelation came when Morgan casually mentioned that there are condoms in both the HOH room and storage room – Trojans that Jimmy Heagerty apparently opened and took one from before his eviction just to stir the pot. The fact that she’s even bringing up condoms tells you exactly where her mind is at.
But the conversation that really had fans buzzing involved mysterious talk about “options.” Remember, Vince previously told Morgan he had something big to tell her in October that she wouldn’t like. Now they’re having cryptic conversations about “option 1” that Morgan didn’t think was “plausible for obvious reasons.”
During one late-night chat in the HOH bed, it looked like Vince was touching Morgan’s legs under the blanket when he told her “I’m going to go crazy.” She responded that she was confused because she didn’t think option 1 was even possible, and wondered if he was trying to game her.
The theory is that option 1 involves Vince and Morgan being together romantically outside the house, and she didn’t think it was possible because of his now-ex-girlfriend Kelsey. There’s no reason for them to be cryptic about gameplay when they’re alone, so this was definitely personal.
Big Brother Spoilers: Vince’s Strategic Nominations
Despite being distracted by his showmance, Vince made smart strategic moves by nominating Keanu and Ava for eviction. He’s planning to use Ashley Hollis as a replacement nominee if needed.
Keanu was completely blindsided by the nomination. He’d been cam-talking about how safe he felt and wasn’t even sure he wanted to win HOH this week. Poor guy has the worst reads on the house and had no idea he was Vince’s top target alongside Morgan.
In a desperate move, Keanu made a “Brokeback Mountain” pitch to Vince, literally begging him to choose their bromance. He told Vince: “I am literally telling you the path to be able to beat me. I am giving you the answers to the test. You literally never listen to me. Choose me for once.”
Ashley is planning to gun for the veto, win it, take down Keanu, and force Vince to nominate Morgan. She knows it would be a boss move but is worried no one would take her to final 3 and she’d go out in 4th place.
The Remaining BB27 Players’ Strategies
With Lauren Domingue eliminated in the double eviction, the final five are all scrambling. Vince told Ava he’s playing his own game now and wants a final 2 with either her or Ashley, but the aura-painting scam artist knows that’s probably a con.
Vince even asked Ava if nominating Morgan and Keanu together would make him a bad person. The answer is no – it would make him smart, since they’re the two biggest threats who could both beat him in the end.
Keanu wants Morgan gone because he wants Vince all to himself. Meanwhile, Ava and Ashley are rooting for Keanu to win veto because they think he won’t nominate them and might put up Vince next to Morgan instead.
The Road to the Big Brother Finale
The eliminated players so far include Adrian Rocha, Amy Bingham, Isaiah “Zae” Frederich, Jimmy Heagerty, Zach Cornell, Rylie Jeffries, Katherine Woodman, Mickey Lee, Cliffton “Will” Williams, Rachel Reilly, and Kelley Jorgensen, and Lauren.
The upcoming schedule is packed: Sunday’s episode airs later at 10 PM Eastern to show the HOH competition and nominations. Wednesday’s eviction episode is also at 10 PM to get from final 5 to final 4. Thursday brings another 90-minute eviction episode at 8 PM, and then the finale airs Sunday, September 28th.
Big Brother Spoilers: What This All Means
Big Brother 27 has transformed from a strategic game into a soap opera centered around Vince and Morgan’s increasingly obvious showmance. With Vince now dumped by his real-world girlfriend and openly planning some kind of future with Morgan, the game has taken a backseat to romance.
The scary part for fans is the rumor that production might cut the live feeds until finale night. After the disaster of this season’s twists and controversial decisions, losing the feeds would be the final nail in the coffin for many longtime viewers.
Vince winning HOH gives him power, but it also paints an even bigger target on his back. Everyone knows he and Morgan are a package deal now. And if one of them doesn’t win the next few competitions, they’re both in serious trouble.
The final weeks of Big Brother 27 are shaping up to be a battle between showmances, strategic players. And complete chaos. With only days left until the finale, every move matters more than ever. And this HOH reign could determine who walks away with the $750,000 prize.
This season started weak but has delivered some of the messiest, most entertaining drama in recent memory. Whether you love it or hate it, you can’t look away from the train wreck that is Vince and Morgan’s relationship destroying both their games.
